As we approach the end of 2024, we find ourselves embracing an annual tradition—taking a moment to look back, celebrate, and reflect. Each year brings its own set of unforgettable moments, and this year was no exception. From breathtaking transformations to meaningful connections with homeowners, 2024 has been a year to remember.
Let’s dive into the highlights that made this year so special and take a peek at what’s ahead in 2025!
February: Into the Heart of Renovation
We kicked off the year with a celebration of love—not just in the Valentine’s sense, but for the heart of White Birch Design: our people. In February, we introduced our remodeling team, sharing a glimpse of what fuels their passion both at work and in life. From creating dream spaces to dreaming about vacation destinations, it was a fun way to get to know our team and what inspires them.

April: A Pop of Green on the Spring Remodelers Showcase
As spring arrived, so did the opportunity to showcase our Green With Envy kitchen remodel in Apple Valley, MN, during the Spring Remodelers Showcase. This stunning transformation featured Sherwin Williams Pewter Green and Snowbound White cabinetry, turning a once-dark kitchen into a vibrant, functional space perfect for both entertaining and everyday life.

May: The Sweetest Grand Opening
In May, we celebrated the grand opening of the Bloomington Waffle Bar—our first-ever commercial remodel! This award-winning project (spoiler alert!) was a sweet milestone for both us and our clients. It was their first chance to design a location from scratch, and we were thrilled to bring their vision to life.
June: A Houzz Feature for Fun Backsplashes
Our Revival Kitchen Remodel in New Prague, MN took center stage in the Houzz article Four Kitchens With Fun Backsplashes, earning recognition for its creamy Zellige-style tiles and soapstone slab behind the range. Our homeowner’s commitment to staying true to the roots of this Midcentury Modern home made this project a delight to work on. And the recognition? That just icing on the cake!
Summer: Steamy Project Reveals
As the summer heat rose, so did excitement over our project reveals! One standout was the Manhattan basement finishing project in Lakeville, MN. Designed for empty nesters, this space exuded boutique hotel vibes with a living area, custom dry bar, luxurious steam shower, and workout room—perfect for unwinding or entertaining.
September: Spotlight on Wood Trends and Remodelers Showcase
Wood finishes made a big comeback in 2024, and our Eagan, MN, main floor remodel was a shining example. This project was not only featured in a Houzz article, Five Big Picture Design Trends Popular Right Now, but also stole the spotlight during the Fall Parade of Homes Remodelers Showcase. If you missed it, our before-and-after feature walks you through the stunning transformation step by step.
November: A NARI-MN Award Win
While awards aren’t the reason we do what we do, they’re certainly a welcome recognition of our work. This November, our Waffle Bar project earned the Silver Remodeler of the Year (RotY) Award from NARI-MN in the Commercial Projects category—a proud moment for our team!
